2-3 years ago I bought some custom POC's from a fellow TG'er (or maybe LW'er?). I filled my bowrack and won't shoot them because they are too nice. LSS, I later discovered he'd included much more with nocks, bare shafts, and feathers from which I started making my own. I hope he recognizes who he is from this description as I never thanked him. These arrows taught me to help others whenever possible. Favorite hunting arrows are the ones I made from these POC shafts & feathers he sent.

I have one arrow I carry in my quiver, but never shoot.

Eighteen years ago my bride of three years spent several months questioning me at odd tiems about arrows.  I thought "Cool!  She is getting interested in archery!".  Nope.  She was talking to a custom arrow builder about a dozen special shafts for my christmas present that year.  Come christmas morning there were a dozen ramin shafts cap-stained and barred-fletched under the tree and a foolish look on my face.

I managed to lose them over the years, but I've stubbornly held on to the twelfth arrow.  It goes to 3D shoots with me and rides in my hunting quiver.  It's too short to shoot anymore, having been broked and trimmed back several times.  That's OK, though.  It's not along to be shot...

Gold Tips, they have a great finish that allows me to scrape feather off of and once tuned they've penetrated great through all the deer I've shot with them.

Laminated birch in 5/16" diameter are a close second.

I have shot wood arrows of all kinds and am partial to Douglas Fir. It is strong, has nice looking grain, straight, has ample heft, and it makes a beautiful arrow.

I've made arrows out of everything but carbons.They had just came inti the picture when I started with recurves 26,27 years ago.I shot alumum for 2 years.I shot wood ever sence.Anyway sence I shoot alot of arrows away.Can't become good at game and distances if you don't shoot at it.I always end up shooting straight ceders.I like hichory or ash for stump shooting but I end up shooting  alot of ceder here also.Witch also is exstreamly good and hard also.You just seam to shoot them forever.

Too many to name one, but they're all wood. I have a bin full, and when I go through it each arrow brings its own story to mind. Odds and ends from past dozens, odds and ends of memories.

For years I shot Barrel Tapered Ash from Silent Pond Shafts....until he went under 2 yrs ago. Luckily, I still have over a dozen still left.

Now...my choice is swagged aluminum in 2117. Legacys and Dougherty Naturals. I haven't switched over to Carbon yet...quite a few aluminum to go through first.

Back in '94 I made up 2 dz arrows from some Kerry Gesink compressed ramin 11/32 shafts.  They have shot great from many bows and have taken several deer and a couple of caribou for me and have been around an unknown number of 3-D courses and practice sessions.  I still have a couple left and will continue to carry them in my quiver.  I'll cry when the last one is gone.

Gotta go with JC. I'm pretty fond of those max 4 MFX shafts. Also sad now too cause I didn't know they were discontinued. I shoot the axis too, but prefer the bemans.
Though it's a tie between those, and the CX heritage shafts. Heavy and stinkin' tough!!
